Category Connection: Sapphire Optical Windows
Blue Sapphire Optical Windows are primarily fabricated from ​​optical-grade sapphire (α-Al₂O₃ single crystal)​​. Here, "sapphire" refers not to natural gemstones but to high-purity, single-crystal aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). Renowned for its ​​exceptional hardness (Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamond)​​, outstanding wear resistance, ​​thermal stability (melting point ~2030–2050°C)​​, chemical inertness, and ​​broad spectral transmission (0.2 μm–5.5 μm)​​, sapphire is an indispensable material for extreme-environment optical applications.
